EXILE ON MAINSTREAM
With "Demons Are Scared" we are thrilled to present the first solo album by Arne Heesch (Ex-Ulme, Treedeon), featuring Yvonne Ducksworth (Ex-Jingo de Lunch, Treedeon) on most of the songs.
The album features 8 songs and is a radical departure from the noise/sludge/grunge approach Arne Heesch is known for as a well-regarded figure of the German music scene.
The emotional and intense songwriting draws influences from Dark Folk and Blues and reminds of stalwarts such as Steve Von Till (Neurosis) and Nick Drake.
"Demons Are Scared" is a fully homegrown album, recorded by Ulf 'Fluffi' Reinhard mostly in Arne Heesch's living room.
Yvonne Ducksworth's vocals are featured on most of the songs, as well as some additional guitar and keyboard work by Fluffi.
The album was mastered by Exile-On-Mainstream-alumni Stefan Brueggemann. In August 2021, Arne and Yvonne presented the album for the first time; in a stunning performance on Ruegen Island.
The open air concert by the sea at the very North of Germany, was part of the inspirational Heumond Festival, alongside performances by MIGHT, and Conny Ochs, the latter, who also drew the lettering for the album cover of "Demons Are Scared".
The album is limited to 300 copies and is released as vinyl-only with a CD containing all tracks thrown in.
